ENERGY STAR

According to the Environmental Protection Association and the Department of Energy, "ENERGY STAR certified new homes offer better energy efficiency and performance compared to other homes, making them a better value for today and a better investment for tomorrow.

Homes earning the ENERGY STAR label use 20-30 percent less energy than typical new homes, and even more when compared to most resale homes on the market today.

Together, families who purchased homes earning the ENERGY STAR label save more than $350 million each yearon their utility bills.

Should the time come to consider selling, the ENERGY STAR label will set the home apart as something better: a home of genuine quality, comfort, and efficiency."
